							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Install
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install --save unescape
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Usage
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var decode = require('unescape');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(decode('<div>abc</div>'));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								//=> '<div>abc</div>'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// get the default entities directly
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(decode.chars);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Characters
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For performance, this library only handles the following common entities (split into groups for backward compatibility).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Default entities
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Only the following entities are converted by default.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| **Character** | **Description** | **Entity Name** | **Entity Number** | 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| --- | --- | --- | --- |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `<` | less than | `<` | `<` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `>` | greater than | `>` | `>` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `&` | ampersand | `&` | `&` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `"` | double quotation mark | `"` | `"` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `'` | single quotation mark (apostrophe) | `'` | `'` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Get the default entities as an object:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(decode.chars);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Extra entities
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Only the following entities are converted when `'extras'` is passed as the second argument.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| **Character** | **Description** | **Entity Name** | **Entity Number** |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `¢` | cent                               | `¢`  | `¢` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `£` | pound                              | `£` | `£` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `¥` | yen                                | `¥`   | `¥` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `€` | euro                               | `€`  | `€` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `©` | copyright                          | `©`  | `©` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								| `®` | registered trademark               | `®`   | `®` |
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// convert only the "extras" characters
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								decode(str, 'extras');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// get the object of `extras` characters
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(decode.extras);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### All entities
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Convert both the defaults and extras:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								decode(str, 'all');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Get all entities as an object:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(decode.all);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |
